Perspectives

"The Sun Fire X4500 server combined with the Solaris 10 ZFS file system is designed with SAS SPDS (Scalable Performance Data Server) in mind. The price-performance to storage density ratio (less than $2/GB) will be very desirable to SAS/Sun customers."

— Paul Kent, Vice President, Platform Research and Development, SAS
